Chapter 10: Getting to know each other

We flew through the atmosphere of the red planet. I followed Kurt as he said we will go to a place where everyone will meet. He said he sent out a signal to everyone moments ago. I did not notice him do that.

As we are flying to the meeting place, I checked my status.

====================================

Everything's seem the same. My stats went up by a bunch. Although, my level hasn't gone up. What would I need to do to increase my level? Is leveling up that important? My luck is still negative one, I still don't know what that means.

As the system said 100 years ago, I have unlocked my four main abilities but there is still one missing and it's the first one. That last question mark is obviously different from the others because its description said "unknown" instead of three question marks. I decided to not mind it because I won't get answers by pondering about it.

The new section, Shards of the Five, is the new one and I recently unlocked it after Kurt told me the truth, or a truth. I hovered over the Imagination and used <Property> to know what it means.

[Imagination (Shard of the Five)]

There are five shards in total, collect them all. You can summon the shard to boost your imagination.]

Really? That's it? I thought there would be something special about the shards. I can't be disappointed yet. I tried to summon the shard and a shard the size of my pinky finger materialized on my left hand. The color of the shard is yellow while emitting a blue light, it was odd.

As soon as the shard was summoned, my mind went blank for a split second and once my mind returned, I saw everything in a new perspective.

This is wild! I internally said to myself because I keep seeing a lot that my mind couldn't handle the information being transmitted. All I see was... Everything. I wanted to live in this world and be left in bliss. But I somehow pulled myself out of the imagination world and released the shard and put it back on the system.

While I placed back the shard, Kurt came to an abrupt stop and looked at me and stared wide and had a stunned expression. I also stopped and asked Kurt.

"What's wrong, Kurt?

"No, it's nothing." Kurt slightly bowed his head, smirked, and scoffed. "Let's continue.

Before I could ask another question, Kurt zoomed out towards out original trajectory. I immediately followed.

I finally looked at the truth that I learned named «The threat». I used <Property> but it only showed what Kurt said to me earlier. It was not worth going deeper into it because I feel depressed that the universe was actually not the limit. There are bigger stuff outside the universe and higher beings do exist. I wonder if God is what everyone says he looks like. I wonder if I would see him if I helped the creator to erase the threat. I wonder what happens in the future.

I looked at my <Chrono Brachile> and expected something to happen. Nothing happened.

...

After days of non-stop flight, we arrived at the meeting place. The meeting place had a look of like an arena and it's circular with a diameter of almost a kilometer. I counted twelve towering towers with a yellow orb at the top of them and surrounding the circular arena symmetrically.

"This is what we call, the Arena." Kurt said before we land.

"Oh." I dejectedly replied.

Well, that was an anticlimactic name for something this grand.

"I'm just kidding. This is actually called, Breaking Point." Kurt jokingly said.

Wow, this guy is a comedian, I wanna laugh so bad! I sarcastically said in my mind.

Kurt looked at me and had a creepy smile. I forgot he can read my thoughts. Show some privacy!

As we are hovering down in the center of the arena, I saw eleven persons standing in front of one tower. I scanned them and I saw Jacob.

Jacob punched his left hand with his right fist and gripped it with his left hand. He looked at me with sharp eyes and knitted eyebrows. He seem to be intimidating me.

I then looked away and searched for someone specific. I saw Eduardo in front of his respective tower. As a saiyan, he has his arms crossed as always and has his eyes closed, he seems to be meditating.

He seem to notice when I looked at him and opened his eyes and looked up at me as I was hovering down. I looked intently at him but he returned with a confused look.

I sighed and look for another special person. I saw the purple woman and looked at her.

She seemed to also notice my stare and looked up at me. She just stared, she didn't do anything but I could clearly see her right eye emitting some king of green flame and her mechanical Gundam wings whinged up. Hey hey, why do they all seem to be intimidating me?

Looks like both of them doesn't recognize me at all.

I scanned the rest of them. I saw a woman that looked like a white ghost with no facial features with a long very white hair that seemed like it's glowing. There was also a person that is pitch black and had this very creepy smile with numerous very pointed teeth.

There was a bald person that had a bionic right arm and bionic left leg. There was a person that had hair around his head and face that looked like black spikes. He also had a floating black ribbon around him and the two ends of the ribbon is hovering behind his head, like the fox youkais in Japanese myth.

There was a person that looked like a beggar with a straw hat and small metal pole in his hand that he keeps on playing. There is also a person that looked like a teenager with a cap on that is adorned with a lightning symbol. His body occasionally emits a bolt of lightning around him and the color varies from red, blue, yellow, violet, white, and black. Gotta admit, that is cool.

There is also what looked like an alien at first, he had very long and thin limbs, his limbs also seemed extremely soft and wobbly. His entire torso is also thin. Although his head is still round and a crescent moon can be seen overlapping his round head, no matter what angle you look, the crescent moon always resides in the right side of his head.

Finally, there was this person that seemed tense and shaking. Is he alright? He resembles an edgy teen and a crazy person.

I tried to use <Property> on them but Kurt stopped me before I did so.

"You can analyze them later. For now, we must do something."

Kurt said as we landed in the middle of the circular arena.

"What are we doing here? Why are we in the middle and the others are next to the towers?" I asked Kurt.

"Oh didn't I tell you?"

"What?"

I had an ominous feeling.

"We'll going to fight you and you must defeat all of us except me."

"What?!!"

Before I exclaimed, Kurt zoomed into an unoccupied front of a tower faster than the speed of light. Before I knew it, the surroundings of the arena changed and we were in a space full of blue colors.

A reverberating sound echoed throughout the arena and all tweve of them powered up except for Kurt.

I immediately felt a chill in my spine and unconsciously took a stance. I pulled out my Shi-Kama Tamashī-Kiru and prepared to engage in battle.

If only I had a sword.
